Dioctyl Terephthalate (CAS 6422-86-2) is a non-phthalate terephthalate ester plasticizer available in Technical Grade as a clear colorless liquid, a lower-toxicity alternative to ortho-phthalates used to soften flexible PVC for toys, medical tubing, cable insulation and food-contact packaging. It is provided in Premium Technical Grade with a purity of 99.5% min, featuring low toxicity.

This clear, viscous liquid offers Excellent Electrical Properties and superior resistance to low temperatures. Its low volatility and high compatibility with PVC make it an ideal choice for manufacturing toys, medical devices, and food-contact packaging.

DOTP provides equivalent performance to DOP while meeting strict global regulatory standards for consumer safety. It is highly valued in the Personal Care industry as a solvent and skin-conditioning agent in specialized formulations.
